Free/Educational Unix for PC??
1) Which versions of unix are available free or for educational purposes for PC. I see that the solaris binaries cannot be used on PC.

2) When I installed Linux RedHat, I had to make a partition in ext3 format. Will I have to do something similar for unix?

BTW, my linux red hat os will not start up. I get errors saying things failed... I wonder why...

3) What is ment by unix shell? Would that be like Telnet and SSH?

Solaris X86 can be used on a PC. Use the search button on this site to find out more information.

PFM - Please read the simple rules in the UNIX for Dummies forum and post questions with some information as suggested by google. Also posting multiple questions about multiple topics in the same thread gets confusing for following the answers given. Try to keep topics separate.

See An introduction to the UNIX shell - taken from that is this quote
Quote:
The shell is a command programming language that provides an interface to the UNIX operating system.
